The CARDZ TV challenge #106 was to make a card for any occasion using rain boots, umbrella, clouds, raindrops, puddles, etc. My card I used an Umbrella, Clouds and Raindrops. We all know how much I love my clouds..hehe so this was the perfect challenge for me.

This week starts our pages assigned to us using PDDU. I had page 30. For my card I used the Acc/Suitcase and Headwear/Hat. For my background I cut images from some PP the postcard, ticket and map. I made the map look old and worn with some inking and tearing.

Please go by and visit and check out our projects for the PDDU series. You might get some ideas on how to use some of images in a different way. Think outside the box :) Thanks for leaving great comments!

For this week over at My Paper Craft World..the Cooking With Cricut challenge this week is for National Card & Letter Writing Month. Your project was to make a card for someone or a scrapbook layout including a letter on it. I made a card for a friend..just to say I Miss them. This is a simple card.

Today is the start of our PDDU Series. Each week on Wednesday we will be making a post using an image/cut or images from a page we were assigned from PDDU. The first post starting out was a Spring Tag using any image/cut from PDDU. Starting the 25th we will be using an image/cut from the page assigned. My friend Agnes aka Flowerdisco asked if I would like to play along in this fun challenge exploring a Cartridge. This Series will include Dawn, Kristie, Agnes, and Myself. So be sure to stop back on Wednesdays to see what we come up with using PDDU.

For this week over at My Paper Craft World..the Cooking With Cricut challenge this week was Card Outreach/Thinking of You cards. There are two pretty girls Patty and Emily who will be receiving these beautiful cards. If you would like to read Patty's story MPCW, for Emily's story IFTL. I made a card for Emily for IFTL. Here is a LINK to Emily's card I made for her. I'm only entering Patty's card into the challenge, since I already made Emily's card last week. I hope my card puts a big smile on Patty's face. :)

**Note** The reason I had to cut a Rectangle is for the background PP. This K&Co paper well sucks cutting on a paper trimmer. It's okay if you cut it a certain way, but if you need to make a cut in another direction it just shreds the paper. I thought maybe it's my blade..no I tried out DCWV PP, Bazzill CS, and Wausau CS and it did not shred.. I tried some other K&Co out of the other big stack I have, and well it done the same thing..Shred! The K&Co PP is thin, a lot thinner than other PP I have used. If anyone has this PP stacks/box please let me know if you have the same issue cutting it with a paper trimmer. My paper trimmer is the Provo Craft one. I really love this PP, but I remember from over a year ago I used it and it done the same thing and I just said I won't use it again. Well I really want to use it..there are some fun patterns. I also tried scoring the PP before cutting with trimmer..nope it didn't work. So that leaves me to using the Cricut to cut it. Sometimes it shreds on there as well, but not bad like with the paper trimmer. The trimmer its really bad when it shreds the PP. I hope to find a trimmer or something that will cut the PP besides using the Cricut. You get these K&Co stacks at J's!!

I will start out by saying I have never tried a cart series before. I was talking to my dear friend Agnes aka Flowerdisco thru email about how bored I was and that I wanted some ideas to get me back in working with my Cricut more. I use it, but not like I would like. So she asked if I would like to do a cart series with some other fellow Cricut crafters. I said Yes, sounds like fun! So she got in contact with Dawn and Kristie to see if they would like to join in. So it will be us four ladies Kristie, Dawn, Agnes and myself working on the Paper Doll Dress Up series. So every Wednesday we will make our PDDU Series Post. We will start April 18th posting a Spring themed tag using PDDU. On April 25th we will start exploring PDDU. Each assigned a different page to work with. It will be fun and will get those creative juices flowing. I hope everyone can stop by on every Wednesday up til July and show some love and to get some ideas on how to use PDDU besides for the Doll part :)

Madison over at Funky Cards is hosting another I Feel The Love. For the month of April we have to make a card for a special little girl named Emily. She is so Adorable. The picture Madison has on her blog, her Smile would brighten anyone's day. To read Emily's story and join in on IFTL for April head on over to Madison's BLOG. My Special little shape card comes from my love for clouds. I wanted to make a shape card and I thought about Emily's smiling face and thought what a bright ray of sunshine she is. So I went with my cloud and a cute smiley sunshine. Just a little something to say Hi! to a special little girl.

I made this fun card for my Nephew. This idea came to me the other day when I was looking at my carts. I remembered Boys will be Boys cart had a cute dump truck and thought how cute it would be to make it hauling eggs and leaving them along the way. I think it turned out cute. My little nephew will get a kick out of it.

I made this cute little Tulip Easter egg card for my Niece. Yea I added clouds to another card..hehe, but with it being Spring I just think of being outside and all the pretty clouds floating by in the bright blue sky. This card and my next card I will post has clouds. I just love clouds I guess :) I think she will love this card cause of the cute little PK face on the tulip.
